Definitions

  • the present invention relates to micro-organisms and to methods of producing proteins. More specifically, the inventions relates to a host cell useful for the expression of heterologous proteins in which the host cell, Pichia pastoris, has been genetically modified.
  • the yeasts have received broad attention in recent years, and offer some advantages of the prokaryotic system, such as simple genetic manipulation and rapid growth.
  • the yeast organisms are able to make post-translational protein modifications typical of eukaryotic cells.
  • those employed as expression systems of interest is Pichia pastoris, which has received wide acceptance for the production of biopharmaceuticals, since it is capable of doing some post-translational process, such as glycosylation, so very similar to mammals.
  • Pichia pastoris One of the most important features of Pichia pastoris is its ability to grow in culture medium containing methanol as the sole source of carbon.
  • the first step in the use of methanol is the oxidation of this, leading to the formation of formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme alcohol oxidase.
  • Pichia pastoris has two genes that encode for alcohol oxidase, AOXl and AOX2, but only the former is heavily regulated by methanol while the second is expressed in low quantities.
  • AOXl alcohol oxidase enzyme 1
  • the control of AOXl gene expression occurs at transcriptional level.
  • the promoter of the gene AOXl has been widely used for the construction of expression vectors of Pichia pastoris for being strong and highly adjustable, which reduces the possibility of toxic proteins harming the cell growth. These vectors are integrative type, allowing the stabilization of the exogenous gene message in the genome of Pichia pastoris.
  • Pichia pastoris secretes very low levels of native proteins. More interesting, there have been no reports of extracellular proteases in Pichia pastoris and studies suggest that most of the proteases active in Pichia pastoris are intracellular and not secreted (Jarnaa Sinha et al., Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 89: 102-1 12, 2005).
  • Still another important feature is that the expression of heterologous proteins or polypeptides in Pichia pastoris has shown high levels of production when grown at high cell densities in simple defined medium. Indeed, the strong promoter, coupled with the high cell density fermentation, has allowed production of heterologous proteins or polypeptides at high concentration.
  • vacuolar proteases are required for several developmental transitions in the life cycle of yeast cells (e.g., sporulation), they are dispensible for vegetative growth.
  • the majority of vacuolar proteases are synthesized and transported through the secretory pathway as enzymatically inactive zymogens (Klionsky et al., Microbiol. Rev. 54:266-292, 1990; Raymond et al., Int. Rev. Cytol. 139:59-120, 1992). They are proteolytically activated by the combined action of proteinase A, the product of the PEP4 gene, and proteinase B, the product of the PRB1 gene.
  • protease- deficient strains Another known example is the use of protease- deficient strains.
  • Some vacuolar protease- deficient strains of Pichia are already available, such as Pichia methanolica strain disclosed in WO 99/14347 (Zymogenetics, Inc.), which is deficient in proteinase A or proteinase B activity, or Pichia pastoris strains SMD1 168, SMD1163 or SMD1 165, which posses a substantial decrease in or elimination of proteinase A, carboxypeptidase Y and/or proteinase B activities.
  • it is not easy to create protease-deficient strains Indeed the proteolytic processes in eukaryotic organisms are quite complicated and involved in cell metabolism.
  • Pichia pastoris remains unsolved. Surprisingly the Applicant was able to overcome this problem in the present invention.
  • the present invention provides a Pichia pastoris cell suitable for the production of heterologous polypeptides, characterized in that said cell has been modified by recombinant DNA technology so that the gene for endogenous subtilisin Sub2 encoded by the DNA sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 or variants or fragments thereof is completely or partially inactivated.
  • the invention further provides a method of producing a heterologous polypeptide in the Pichia pastoris cell according to the invention, said method comprising: (a) introducing into said cell a nucleic acid sequence encoding for a polypeptide;
  • step (b) cultivating the cell of step (a) in a culture medium under conditions
  • the invention also provides method for improving the production of heterologous polypeptides by a Pichia pastoris cell comprising inactivating completely or partially the gene for endogenous subtilisin Sub2 encoded by the DNA sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 or variants or fragments thereof in said Pichia pastoris cell.
  • Another aspect of the invention is a method for obtaining the Pichia pastoris cell of the invention, wherein the inactivation of the subtilisin Sub2 gene is obtained by:
  • subtilisin Sub2 a DNA construct comprising the subtilisin Sub2 gene, wherein a part of said gene has been substituted, deleted, or extra DNA has been inserted within said subtilisin Sub2 gene
  • FIG. 1 Further aspect of the invention is a method for obtaining the Pichia pastoris cell of the invention, wherein the inactivation of the subtilisin Sub2 gene is obtained by using anti- sense technology, said method comprising:
  • FIG. 1 Overexpression of P. pastoris SUB I and SUB2 genes in P. pastoris KM71. Sub2 is over produced in P. pastoris KM71 -Si752

  • SUB2 Part of SUB2;
  • BLE S. hindustanus BLE gene for resistance to zeocin.
  • Plasmid pKS2 sequence is 100% identical to GS 1 ⁇ 5-sub2 DNA.
  • Pichia pastoris The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has been used successfully to express a wide range of heterologous proteins; one of the main interests being that Pichia pastoris secretes low levels of native proteins. Therefore it is well known that Pichia pastoris is a powerful tool to individually produce numerous secreted heterologous proteases as recombinant proteins in substantial amounts, without endogenous secreted proteases
  • proteases contaminating proteases. This is very useful when highly purified proteases are needed to analyze for example different steps in protein and peptide digestion.
  • the availability of recombinant proteases assisted many studies in the fields of secreted protease biochemistry, crystallography and clinical microbiology. Using a reverse genetic approach (from gene to protein), it was also possible to synthesize proteases which were revealed by genome sequencing, but which were not yet discovered and remained so far putative.
  • the Applicant used Pichia pastoris to produce recombinant leucine aminopeptidases, dipeptidyl-pepptidases and trieptidyl-pepptidases of the sedolisin family. Surprisingly and contrary to what has been known and expected, the Applicant realized that purified fractions of the above-mentioned proteases contained endoproteolytic activity. Thus in the present invention, the Applicant identifies and characterizes a contaminating protease of the subtilisin family which is secreted in minor amount by Pichia pastotris during growth in methanol medium.
  • Pichia pastoris genome harbours two genes encoding serine proteases of the subtilisin family (Sub): Subl codes for the vacuolar Proteinase B which is not secreted in culture medium, whereas Sub2 codes for a subtilisin which is secreted in low amount (3ng/ml culture medium of cells at OD 50 in methanol medium).
  • proteolytic activity from Pichia pastoris GS1 15 and KM71 has been studied. Two distinct gelatinolytic activities in Pichia pastoris cell culture supernatant were detected in SDS-PAGE gels containing gelatin as a substrate. One protease (proteolytic component) showed a distinct band and had an apparent molecular mass of 40 kDa
  • the Applicant searched to disrupt the gene encoding vacuolar protease B (Prb) in GS 1 15 strain.
  • Protease B is a serine protease of the subtilisin family and was postulated to be secreted by Pichia pastoris.
  • a gene encoding the putative Pichia pastoris Prb (ppPRB) was cloned from a Pichia pastoris genomic library as described in material and methods using Saccharomyces cerevisiae PRB DNA as a probe. ppPRB targeted disruption did not allow to abolish gelatinolytic activity in Pichia pastoris cell culture supernatant. Therefore the Applicant searched to clone another gene encoding a subtilisin for subsequent disruption.
  • Pichia pastoris transformants producing various heterologous proteases were found to secrete more Sub2 than GS 115 or KM71. This observation contrasts with previous findings made in niger, Trichoderma reesei and S. cerevisiae. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated stress generated by expression of heterologous secreted proteins or polypeptides was found to lead to the transcriptional down-regulation of some genes encoding secreted proteins, an effect termed repression under ER stress (RESS) which may be independent of the UPR.
